When US-based tech giant Katerra shut down operations in June, it sent a ricochet through the construction technology sector.

After raising billions of dollars’ worth of funding, the Softbank-backed modular pioneer collapsed under debt following the pandemic.

Now, four of the group's former executives have joined forces once more to lead the US roll-out of another modular start-up, one much closer to home. On this episode of Tech Talk Radio, EG head of content Emily Wright is joined by Janet Stephenson, Kassi Mast, Eva Talbot and Jennifer Caldwell; the Seattle-based team which will run the US arm of London start-up Modulous.

The expansion follows Modulous’s £5m capital raise from investors including Blackhorn Ventures, Cemex Ventures, Groundbreak Ventures, Goldacre and the UK Government's future fund.

For more on how these four former Katerra executives plan to harness their pre-existing skills to lead this expansion and why being a team of four women was a happy coincidence based on talent and talent alone, tune in to this week's episode of Tech Talk Radio.
